Day 02-09/24: Weighed myself and the scale said 230. I figured I probably didn't lose 7 lbs overnight, so I stepped off and on again: 235. All of this to say I'm glad I've ordered a digital scale.
It arrived this afternoon and we'll see where we're at tomorrow morning.
Did manage to get out for my second 45-minute walk in three days, and I'm back to tracking my food. So far so good.4 -
I want to lose at least 4.9 kg in this round.
Day 1 86.7 kg 2x45 min walks
Day 2 86.0 45 min walk
Day 3 85.95 -

Can’t figure out how to get back in & just edit my original post counting off the days do I’ll reply here.
Day 2 … feel a little guilty I always allow myself a treat & whatever I want for dinner on Sundays it stops me from eating anything not healthy until then but felt guilty doing it today because of the 100 day challenge.
Still pretty much kept to my Sunday norm as I know it stops me from falling off the wagon so to speak. But I decided to not do a treat & whatever I wanted for dinner… decided to just choose one so took the treat and made a basic brown rice & bean vegan “peasant soup” as I call it when I need to run to the store for more ingredients. Will add carrots tomorrow.5 -

I use my PC for posting. I save my posts in a word document and just add to it daily, then copy and post it. I'm not sure if your are using a PC/laptop or using your phone.
Perhaps someone who uses their phone can help with instructions?

Back again! I went from 79 kg to 71.5 kg in the last Challenge. Planning to get down to 67 kg (147.4lb) in the next 100 days.
Day 01-09/23-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. Received news this morning that a family member in Ireland has had a heart attack. It was partly her fault because she heard of my weight loss success and tried to go on a crazy sort of almost religious diet with nothing but raw fruit and walking 18,000 steps a day. At 62 years old! Luckily she is recovering well, but it makes me more careful about sticking to a slow, sustainable rate. The tortoise always beats the hare.
Day 02-09/24-xxxxx- 72 kg. Unsure of my BMI because I used to be 5' 10" (177.8 cm) but now I've lost, maybe an inch? Or Two? I'll tentatively say 175 cm. So 23.5 BMI. PRetty good, but I'd like to, ideally, 22. But will settle for 22.5.
Day 03-09/25-xxxxx- 72 kg. Found a whole $NZ3.00 (USD1.80) out walking today. Wish it was like that everyday!

Glad to see you made it home safely. It's great that you have a few extra days to yourself before going back to your grueling schedule.
In regards to zig-zagging: I don't get to add too many calories and it's not as often as I'd like lol. I don't think it will help too much during the holidays. I normally try to eat around 1400 so the highest day on zig-zag would be 1600, but I have to take away from other days to get it. I've been adding things like 3/4 c of cottage cheese on that day which puts me just a bit under the 1600 for the day. Or sometimes a bag of skinny girl popcorn (165 cals) and a TBSP or two of sugar-free applesauce. My lowest day is 1050 calories. On the two high days (1600 and 1520) I am trying to add in something healthy but, as you know, I am not the healthiest eater. The other day I added in frozen corn with butter. An extra 200 (or 120 on the 1520 day) doesn't leave a lot of room for what is on the Christmas platters in such variety and abundance, but if I can learn restraint and control it does leave room for a cookie or two on those days. Hmmmm Restraint and Control......Nope, not yet LOL.
My biggest successes in weight loss has been planning for my most difficult times of temptation - for me that's every weekend! So I would shave off calories M-F (to about 1100) and then be able to go up to 1600 Sat & Sun, which basically leaves me room for cocktails & a snack or two. It's basically the same system as Weight Watchers with their extra weekly points you can use however you want (which I also had success with.) I also believe the "zig zag" helps the metabolism stay more active. I hope it works well for you!

Hi I'm Jenny from the Bronx, NY - 58 years old, 5' 6", and struggled my whole life with food. I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I keep gaining and losing. I'm working hard to get back to a weight that's not super skinny but something I can maintain and feel good at - for me that's about 175. Let's see how far I can get by the New Year!
Day 01-09/23: 212.0 - Did a burpeegirl workout and yoga stretch focusing on the low back - does anyone use the Down Dog app? It's amazing & one of the few pay things ($60 US per year) I feel is totally worth it! I actually only use the yoga app - you can input the time you want, they have all sorts of different types & intensities, you can even choose the type of music and the level of voice to music, then a real person leads you through a routine that's different every time. It comes with multiple other apps - HIIT, Barre, and a meditation app as well where you can customize in the same way. I only use the restorative/gentle yoga and even then feel it's totally worth it, I love the woman's calming voice. Not to sound like a commercial but I really love it and thought I'd share.
Day 02-09/24: 211.2 - So yesterday's weight was a bump up from the day before which was 211.6 - good to know that was fake! Did a longer more abs focused BG workout and yoga stretch. Today is Day 7 for me getting my act back together, and feeling so much better inside & out. Digestion (and related activites
) are much better, mood is stable...good to be back on my "meds" (exercise & healthy eating!)
Day 03-09/25: 209.8 - Booyah! I love when I move into a new decade...though it was a big drop, we'll see if it holds up tomorrow! Did BG walking/toning workout today plus yoga stretch. The consistent exercise/stretching over the past week has made my back feel much better, it was so sore at the beginning of last week - I think it finally started letting go of the inflammation which is good news on the scale!

Hi. I’m Lynn, 76, 5’2”, from B.C., Canada. Just printed the previous 100 Day challenge and titling it “Diary of a Backslide”. This’ll be my 2nd 100 day challenge ..
Day 01-09/23- 171.4 Met Clare at Lac des Roche; slow 2 ½ hr paddle yesterday. Struggled a bit carrying kayaks back up to cars. Need to work on rebuilding climbing strength and ‘getting my breath back’. Spent a lot of time on phone with DS1 and his triangle of people.
Day 02-09/24: 173.4 Kinda bummed about my wt but probably a ‘catch up’ from the cake etc on Thursday. Made a BD supper complete with carrot cake but friend canceled at last minute; pleaded covid contact. Purchased stair stepper. Did short workout on bike and stepper but cut short because of darkness.
Day 03-09/25: 173.4, kinda slipped into “I don’t give a da**” mood yesterday. Paying for it today.

MFP should always bring you back to your last post. If you want to edit one from before (you can only edit for 1 hour) I suggest just copy and paste it, then edit from there.

@Lynn__W
So glad that you got out for that paddle. Time will be running out for that kind of thing soon as the temps drop.

Thank you for keeping us going @deepwoodslady !!
Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2", 63 years old as of September 20th.
My BMI and stuff like that shows my optimum healthy weight should be between 110 and 118.
I have made a decision to limit restaurant food to 6 times per year since I seem to gain a few pounds each time which could take 3-6 months to get back off from one visit.
Rolling total so far: 4 out of the 6
Day 01-09/23 - 143.2, up 0.4 from the previous day, final weigh-in for that 100. It was a travel day so I didn't post in here until now. It was raining, so it was a very lovely drive albeit long since there were a few construction stoppages. I stopped at a small hike to a waterfall : - )
Day 02-09/24 - 143.8 - Ouch. I did 20 minutes of Fitness Marshall before hitting the road, but had done 65+ minutes of it each day that I was in the Shushwap. Other than the small hike to the waterfall I sat in the car for 9 hours. Taking a couple of days off at home before going back to work. I may (probably will before the temps drop too low and I am too busy working 2 jobs) do some garden harvest and possibly some cooking.
Day 03-09/25 - 143.2 - Had an awesome day at home even though I had woken up thinking that I was still in the Motel bed. Only one hour of time difference, but I am still "off" a bit as I got used to the PST. I had really great Fitness Marshall workouts, 3 or 4 songs at a time. This set me up to be limber enough to get outside. I got so much done in the yard yesterday, but nothing in the house lol. Maybe I can get to some unpacking today. I did make a full rice cooker last night and will measure that into containers for the freezer this morning now that it has cooled. So nice to not have to go anywhere today. I did need a few grocery items, but ordered them from Walmart shipping to arrive today. Kind of laying low since if anyone sees me from either place that I work they will want me to come in and I am not ready for that : - )

When we came home from vacation Wednesday night ... Thursday was blown with washing clothes, grocery shopping, getting things put away, etc. Then Friday my other granddaughter had a fever so I went to care for her since she couldn't make daycare. This weekend wasted away with my daughter, her husband and granddaughter AND their 2 golden doodles staying with us Fri & Sat night. They went car shopping while we watched the lil one.
Now I'm without a car as SIL car is dead and they've not bought one yet. But that is okay since I don't have many places I need to be and DH's car is available.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

Round #13---196.2
Round #14---191.2
Round #15---194.0
Round #16---188.0
Thoughts at the start of this challenge:
1. I am down 23.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
2. I up 2.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 11.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to continue to dedicate myself and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.
Day 01-09/23-187.8-(Trend weight 190.6)
Day 02-09/24-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I wandered aimlessly around last night like the Cookie Monster trying to find Big bird. Yes, I ate ALL the cookies along the way. I couldn’t bear to weigh myself this morning because I knew it would include glycogen and all that other stuff when I eat too many carbs. Yesterday was pre-scheduled to be a [italics]slightly[/italics] higher carb day anyway, but not for (too many) cookies! So stupid. Anyway, today will be an extra low calorie and carb day according to schedule on this zig-zag experiment so hopefully I will feel confident in weighing tomorrow.
Day 03-09/25-188.8-(Trend weight 190.4) Well $#!% It was only a few (well maybe a bit more than a few) cookies and it was day before yesterday and still, I am up a full pound. I know, I know, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later but wow. I’ve really increased my exercise in the past couple of days so I also wonder if it’s a bit of fluid retention. Also, I noticed in logging that my sodium has been up mainly from things like cottage cheese and tomato juice. It’s shocking how much sodium is in cottage cheese! The good news is that my trend weight is continuing to go down, my fat percentages continue to drop and I can physically feel the difference in my body shape and size. I will measure soon. Just keep going Donna. Keep Going. It’s not linear. (And STAY AWAY from your grandson’s JUNK).

There are many websites and apps out there that will help you track it. Basically is is the path or trajectory you are on in your weight loss. It will show the daily ups & downs but the overall trend you are taking. I use my computer for MFP so the site I use is trendweight.com It will track your weight, your fat % and more. It will show you your trend for a 4 week period, a 3 month, 6 month or one year period. Whatever you choose. I hope this helps.5 -

@deepwoodslady
Yes, I use my phone but I’ll try from my laptop tomorrow. Thank you. 😎
Day 3: Long, long day. Didn’t get many steps in but stayed under my calorie goal & made healthy food choices.
Did get my Fitness watch charged & back on to start tracking steps tomorrow. Starting with 8,000 steps then will increase to 10,000 … and hoping to be back at my 12,000 steps a day over the next couple months. I have big dogs so it needs to be our normal to keep them active.4 -

Have any of you ever done Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home videos? I love her older videos with just her or with the original group of people. Going to start back with them tomorrow with the 1 mile video, it’s less than 20 minutes. It’s like a light to medium aerobic but less jarring. I do skip doing the “kick backs” as my knees get sore from that.
She’s great, motivating & not annoying. Even if you are just able to do the warm up & fast forward to the cool down it’s a start.4 -
Back again! I went from 79 kg to 71.5 kg in the last Challenge. Planning to get down to 67 kg (147.4lb) in the next 100 days.
Day 01-09/23-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. Received news this morning that a family member in Ireland has had a heart attack. It was partly her fault because she heard of my weight loss success and tried to go on a crazy sort of almost religious diet with nothing but raw fruit and walking 18,000 steps a day. At 62 years old! Luckily she is recovering well, but it makes me more careful about sticking to a slow, sustainable rate. The tortoise always beats the hare.
Day 02-09/24-xxxxx- 72 kg. Unsure of my BMI because I used to be 5' 10" (177.8 cm) but now I've lost, maybe an inch? Or Two? I'll tentatively say 175 cm. So 23.5 BMI. PRetty good, but I'd like to, ideally, 22. But will settle for 22.5.
Day 03-09/25-xxxxx- 72 kg. Found a whole $NZ3.00 (USD1.80) out walking today. Wish it was like that everyday!
Day 04-09/26-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. Went to an Art Exhibition opening and demolished a plate of sandwiches. I am not safe in the presence of bread.

@cwright1976 - I use an app on my phone called Happy Scale to track my trend weight. I use the free version It calculates your trend weight for the day based on the last 10 days so you see less ups and downs and more of a ... trend. Also I like the view it provides over a year, 30 days or whatever. If only I can get myself back into the trend I had in 2020 and 2021!!!

@geminimoon73 - I have many of Leslie Samson's Walk at Home videos. But not viewed them in years since I no longer have a DVD player. Loved her active walks especially on rainy days. Might try to pull them back out.
Is there a way to transfer my DVDs to a file on my computer? Curious minds trying to solve a problem.

Interesting article ... What happens to your body if you exercise but don't eat well
Even if your workouts are keeping you thin, health experts say it's virtually impossible to outrun a bad diet.
Watch out for the habit to burn off what you eat ... visceral fat is less noticeable because it wraps around your organs.
“It’s not good or bad food; it’s just fuel,” she said. “When you look at it from an addition standpoint instead of a restriction standpoint, it’s a healthier approach to fueling yourself.”
